I can offer some insight into the shooters motives and psychopathology. If it weren't for the town bicycle taking pity on me a drunken fortnight after my eighteenth birthday, I would have remained a virgin until my mid-twenties. To this day, I have never been on a third date. Which, if Hollywood is to be believed, is usually the day sex happens; damn the luck. It's not because i'm ugly, short, or out of shape (5'10" and a muscular 165 lb.) but rather due to extreme shyness/phobia of women. Essentially I have a very difficult time interacting with women in a social setting much less attempting to take that interaction in a more personal direction.
For much of my late teens and early twenties I was quite angry and disgruntled with what I saw as my "plight" in life. Unlike the shooter I was actually pursued by several girls and even blatantly offered sex. In every case however, I was struck by a (likely) irrational, pervasive fear that they were doing it just so they could point and laugh at me for presuming they were serious. To preempt this, I would aloofly decline then act as if nothing had happened. Later of course I would kick myself and in some convoluted twist of reasoning, blame her and women in general for rejecting me. I am and was well aware there isn't anything logical about that, but that didn't change my sentiment. The same scenario would play out in a less emotionally intense form pretty much every time I encountered a beautiful woman in public. Sexual desire, followed by acute feelings of rejection, afterwards anger and hatred with a dash of self-loathing. Knowing it was irrational, wrong, and definitely unhealthy did nothing to stop the cycle. It's like wanting something you can't have, secretly knowing you could, in theory, have it, and just getting even more P.O.ed because of that.
I can't imagine compounding the above with the absence of a racial identity; one of few things in this world no one can take away from you(honor, faith, and being right are others). Actually I can, and it ends up pretty much how it played out in Santa-Barbara. A decision to end the cycle of pain with revenge as a final f*@# you! to women, society, and the world in general. All are somehow culpable and to blame; somehow.
I consider myself an intelligent person (perhaps a bit narcissistic as well*) and as such cannot allow myself to perpetuate an irrational worldview. I know that my problem with women is not "they don't like me" but rather I am the problem, just me. Call it what you will but that's what it boils down to. If only self introspection and identifying the problem was the same as fixing it! As it is not, I suspect I shall continue to use the internet as an inferior substitute for much of my social interaction as it's the only way I can be at peace. On the bright side, that's how I found Stormfront.

*In defense of narcissism, there are many great men in history such as Alexander the Great and Napoleon who exhibited narcissistic traits. Who is to say that with hard work and singular dedication I might not one day make my self-imposed delusions of grandeur a reality?

Bi-racial children are almost always at least a little screwed-up in the head; how could you not honestly be? You're neither/nor, straddling the fence, a freak of nature.

And I already pointed to some studies that indicate exactly that. Unintentionally, but they do.

Prisons race shock

November 25 2008 at 09:30am Members of the so-called coloured population are incarcerated at a rate almost double that of their black compatriots, says the SA Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR).

Evidence suggested the higher prison rate could be attributed to the prevalence of gangsterism, alcohol and drug abuse among this group, the institute said in a statement on Tuesday.

"In October 2007, some 80 percent of the South African prison population was made up of Africans, who also made up 79 percent of the entire South African population.

"However, the coloured population was incarcerated at a rate of almost 651 per 100 000 people. This was almost twice the imprisonment rate of the African population, which was 342 per 100 000 people in 2007.

"White and Indian populations were incarcerated at the same rate of around 60 per 100 000 people."

The SAIRR said its analysis of prison populations - published in the 2007/08 edition of its South Africa Survey - was based on figures from the department of correctional services.

"This analysis does not seek to suggest, by any means, that some population groups are more criminally-inclined than others.

"Rather, it seeks to identify peculiar environmental influences that might drive members of some communities towards criminal activity."

Research had shown that some population groups, such as Indians and whites, had a greater proportion of stable families.

Other communities, such as those of the Limpopo region, had better social cohesion than others.

"Furthermore, there was evidence that criminal gang activity and drug and alcohol abuse were more prevalent among communities populated by coloured people than others."

The statement quotes SAIRR researcher Kerwin Lebone as saying South Africa's "infamously low" conviction rates needed to be considered when studying the analysis.

A much higher conviction rate might have resulted in different incarceration rates among the races.

That the prison population itself would stay overwhelmingly African was a function of South Africa's demographics.

"Owing to the relatively greater incomes of the white and Indian populations and their greater levels of education... it might well be the case that they enjoyed a superior standard of legal representation than did the other two population groups, and could thus avoid jail," he said. - Sapahttp://www.iol.co.za/news/south-afri...shock-1.426802

Notice how they try to explain this away with Whites having a higher income. What they don't say is that the chance of Whites being apprehended is actually higher, because they are more likely to have a registered residence and fixed work. Not to mention that White officers working on the case are also more efficient in getting the suspect.

I should mention that when I got home, about 30 minutes after the shootings the police dispatcher sent an email to all UCSB students stating "2 people have been detained." I wonder who those 2 people that were detained are?

Also a lot of first reports said there were TWO shooters, not just one. Now I never got a good glimpse so I can't say if I saw more than one.

That Elliot Rodger, the now dead suspect in the UC Santa Barbara shootings, was deeply misogynistic has now been well reported. Less known is that the alleged mass murderer engaged in other kinds of hate-mongering, posting racist messages on PuaHate.com, the online forum primarily known for its fomenting of hatred for women.

According to Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch blog, Rodger ranted on the site against interracial dating, black, Asian and Indian men.

Six months before his deadly shooting spree, Rodger posted a message entitled: “Saw a black guy sitting with 4 white girls.” He proceeded to express his rage about the fact that white women would consort with men of color. The post said:

Today I drove through the area near my college and saw some things that were extremely rage-inducing.

I passed by this restaurant and I saw this black guy chilling with 4 hot white girls. He didn’t even look good.

Then later on in the day I was shopping at Trader Joe’s and saw an Indian guy with 2 above average White Girls!!!

What rage-inducing sights did you guys see today? Don’t you just hate seeing these things when you go out? It just makes you want to quit life.

When another poster said he was being racist, Rodger responded with disbelief that white women were interested in these “undeserving” men instead of him:

I don’t understand how these guys do it.

Here we are suffering on PuaHate when these lesser, undeserving men that I saw today are walking around with hot girls. It doesn’t make sense.

Some of his fellow posters on PuaHate included non-white males, and one, who identified himself as an Asian male, posted the question of whether a certain pair of shoes would help him attract white women. Rodger wasted no time in insulting and bullying him as well, according to Hatewatch.

Shoes won’t help you get white girls. White girls are disgusted by you, silly little Asian.

The other man responded by posting what purported to be photos of himself with an attractive white woman. Rodger dismissed the photos as fake and added:

Full Asian men are disgustingly ugly and white girls would never go for you. You’re just butthurt that you were born as an asian piece of ****, so you lash out by linking these fake pictures. You even admit that you wish you were half white. You’ll never be half-white and you’ll never fulfill your dream of marrying a white woman. I suggest you jump off a bridge.

Another post written by Rodger at BodyBuilding.com the same week as the shooting was also uncovered by Hatewatch. It said: “It’s been my life struggle to get a beautiful, white girl.”

The PuaHate website was taken down as soon as its role in the shooting was revealed. Some of its final posters expressed admiration for what Rodger had done, calling him a "hero."

I should mention that when I got home, about 30 minutes after the shootings the police dispatcher sent a message saying "2 people have been detained." I wonder who those 2 people that were detained are?

Also a lot of first reports said there were TWO shooters, not just one. Now I never got a good glimpse so I can't say if I saw more than one.

Strange. I'll ask more about this.

There usually is a lot of confusion after a sudden violent incident. The people detained could have just been people scooped up by cops trying to make sense of what just happened.

Seems like a pretty low body count for two shooters. I can't imagine this guy sharing the "glory" anyway.

Really? It's just hard for me to meet girls in St. Louis. I really have nowhere to go to meet decent hot looking girls that are nailable. I mean I don't like the idea of dating a fat girl. I could never nail one.

I'm glad I'm not of this generation. Those days are safely behind me. As for finding true love, that may come when one is at complete peace with self. There are those who never find love their entire lives on this rock. What I have noticed of those who have deep loving relationships is that they have soulful personalities & they have life experiences that cultivated their philosophical side. You may find in time that the one you are truly in love with is one that you would have never dreamt to nail.

What I do in those cases is put the pest on ignore. That way I don't contribute to the clogging up of bandwidth, burn my ration of posts, & p.o. folks who'd rather not waste their time with that online rumble scene. I already have 1 new person on ignore since I've been here & there is plenty of slots open yet. I'm here to represent my race as best as I can. I fail sometimes, but I try. Rolling in the slop with pigs is not becoming imo.

One interesting.......and quite frankly expected.......aspect of this event is how the media chooses to portray the incident as "racist".

The masses have been conditioned to associate "racist" with "white". One of the reasons the fact that Elliot being a Eurasian is being glossed over in many news reports (the average low information viewer will automatically assume Elliot was white because of his rants about non-white men and the fact that they've been taught only white people can be racist). Also, they focus on his rants against his fellow non-whites as evidence of his "racism".

When compared to the Glen Miller shootings.......we can see ideological bias on display.

Glen Miller shot and killed 3 white people, and was a racist attack because it happened near a Jewish community center. Reason for the racist moniker......proximity to Jews.

They have problems fitting in. He even hated his Asian roommates, considered them "nerds" and wound up murdering them!!

Those three aren't particularly stout in their own right being murdered by that prissy fig. In order to win at fighting you need to know how to fight. Here in the qua that advice has never been more salient.
